Click on a Cascade ID for a coverage map of that site.

Update 6/15/2012, all maps have been updated to better reflect antenna configuration, this is still just an approximate guess as to coverage YMMV.

 

Interactive maps for sponsors can be found here

 

I will be maintaining coverage maps of LTE sites that people are able to or have been able to get a connection to. Please report in this thread if you are able to get an LTE connection along with the site location, Screenshots are helpful in verifying connection.

 

Even if you can no longer connect to the site please provide the information as the coverage maps will include those as well.

 

Hopefully this will allow for more efficient LTE site hunting.

 

Sites that I know of So far

 

I will get caught up on it this week.....

 

Atlanta

AT25XC056, Reported by danielholt, now blocked

AT25XC068, Reported by themuffinman, now blocked

AT03XC088, Reported by slackblade, allowing connections

 

Kansas City

KC03XC133, Reported by kckid, allowing connections

 

Houston

HO23XC275, Reported by techwrench, now blocked

HO33XC479, Reported by techwrench, now blocked

HO03XC425, Reported by techwrench, now blocked

HO03XC328, Reported by Latinoboi30, now blocked

 

 

Working on finding a way to display multiple .kmz files with image overlay on an online map. Any Ideas?

 

*DISCLAIMER, This is an approximation of coverage and no guarantee is provided that coverage will be there when you are so do not whine that its not correct, I only have tower height data for Atlanta at this point so all other towers will use an assumed height of 35 feet for urban sites. Antenna configuration including down tilt may have serious effects on actual coverage.

What is there to talk about? Deployment is just really getting underway. The reach of LTE 1900 and building penetration is the same as their 3G, except at the edge of service because of the fragile

I don't think blocking is going to continue much longer. Since Sprint invited PCMag out to one of their sites to experience LTE, I imagine that's a sign that they are going to open it up soon.

AT25XC068

 

This is the site I been getting my signal from since last thursday. It seemed like it was blocked over the weekend, but yesterday I had a signal again but by mid afternoon it was gone. Got up this morning, no lte, so I guess it is currently being blocked.

I use Netmonitor and Open Signal Maps. Both can be downloaded on Google Play,(market).

 

Got 4G this morning and then went away in Atlanta.

 

I did not want to double post, but I posted in the Atlanta LTE my screen shots. Realized I should have posted them here. Sorry.

Nice! I have to say, I am somewhat impressed at the coverage area of the individual cells.

 

Yeah I was impressed as well, now I haven't had an lte connection in about 10 minutes

Hey whats up, I saw the screenshots you posted in the other thread. I am not sure how to tell which tower you are connected to and opensignal seems to be inaccurate a lot of times. So were there any other areas where you went that you were still getting an lte signal?

It has been brought to my attention that the coverage reported may be a little generous, I will post updated coverage maps tomorrow sorry for the inconvenience.

If you are able to connect again could you take a screenshot of netmonitor so that I can find the site your connecting to?

I will definitely take a screenshot of net monitor if I get a connection again.

I was not able to get a connection again. I will keep an eye out for it, but I am working from home tomorrow.

 

What should I be using to get the info needed?

The location shown on NetMonitor appears to be off. It looks like this is Site# HO03XC328. Which is on a monoploe behind a strip mall at Jones Road and Crescent Moon. It's less than a half mile from you, and about 2/3 mile south of where NetMonitor shows. It was scheduled to be complete at the end of May. So this is probably the site.

I wasn't sure how accurate the location was but since I'm.off today, I'm going to go located it and do a speed test right at that location to see what speeds I get.

Excellent! Let us know what you see. Now you know exactly where to go. Maybe you can take some pictures. It is right behind the back corner of that strip mall.

In general, is there any way to translate the Network ID (NID) and Base Station ID (BID) values reported by netmonitor, which also seem to be the standard on-phone values detected by the Android utility Android System Info, to the site numbers reported in your maps? Is there a table somewhere that can cross-reference these?

I have not been able to connect BSID's in NetMonitor or CDMA Field Test with Sprint Cascade ID #'s yet.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
